in the courtroom, and then the crowd

not less than nine snow clad SUBMITS and
the mountains areaad Orator lake can be
seen from this place Of oh ereation. The
bridge was discovered BY Charles Magee, of
| California. The ARCH is almost perfect,
and from base to base is ninety feet wide,
| with remarkably regular, perpendicular
walls, the whole looking as if chselled by
the hands of skilled giant. The approach

side to the other while Inside, from base to
top Of the bridge, ninety feet. From top
Of arch to top OF bridge thirty feet. On he
bridge are all kinds of grow thS-oals, Ina pie,

UnpaOvOked Murder.
[Alexandria Gazette, July 18th

Mr.. Joseph G. Kennedy, one Of the old
est and most highly respected citizens Of
Washington was murdered yesterday after
teenth street and New York avenue, By
released from the workhouse only that
morning. Mr.. Kennedy had just locked
his Office door, which adjoins the Riggs
Bank, and vas about to take a street Cal
for his home on n street when he was con.
fronted by DAILY, who suddenly whipped
out caseknife, the edge OF which was
sharpened to the keenness of q razor, and
plunged it into tbs right side of the abdo.
men, and then, by a sudden jerk of his hand
forced the knife upward, making terrible
wound Mr. Kennedy fell, with his assail
ant on top Of him. Daily made no attempt
to escape, and was at once arrested, while
looking on, apparently the most uncon-
cerne6 and selEposscsaea man IN the crowd,
which had until now held aiOof as if afraid
to approach the murderer Mr. Kennedy
expired in about five minutes.
The excitement rose rapidly and the
crowd grew bosterous, threatening to hang
the murderer, but DAILY paid but little at
tention to them aud refused TO say why he
committed the crime, bnt once, when pro-
voked by the crowd, he turned fercely
around and said: s'Y es, killed him. damn
him. The Indignation Of the people be-
came so great that the policeman, who had
him in charge, removed him to the drug
store on the corner, where he was kept uu-
iii the patrol wagon came up and carried
him to the station house. He is man
about so years of age. At the station house
he told rambling and incoherent story
about the affair, OF which the general pur-
port was that Kennedy had wronged his
father years ego and had secured property
worth 81 600 for 5000. and that lie refused
to make restitution.
DAILY was arrested about a year ago fOI
assaulting q man on Pennsylvania avenue,
whom he claimed was Catholic priest who
had prosecuted him years ago. He was
sent to the woIkhouse, but refused to woik.
it was thought that he was insane, but he
physicians pronounced him of sound mir d,
and yesterday morning his time Of confne-
ment expired and he was set at liberty.
The impression is that paly is a crank OF
the Cnteau stripe.
In l849 Mr.. Kennedy vas invited TO &C
to Washington to accept The secretary SHIP
Of the. census board, ana he DATED the till
which provided FOR the establishment ri the
ceusus bureau, to the lead OF which he Y as
soon appointed. Ii 1851 he visited Ear pc
on special business Got the government in
connection with cheap postage and Other
.,ostal matters. In 1869 lie was appoint ed
commissioner to the London Information
al Exhibition. He has been prominent
figure in Washington society for nearly
forty years. He leaves a wife and three
children.

OPERATIONS OF THE GEOLOGICAL
BUREAU.-Major J. W. Powell, director of
the geological survey, has submitted to the
Secretary of the Interior for his approval a
plan Of operations for the geological surveys
for the present fiscal year. Topographic
surveys are recommended to be made as fol-
lows: Completion Of the work in Massachu-
sets and New Jersey, and the beginning of
the surveys about Baltimore and in East
ern Maryland; extension of surveys in
Northeastern Virginia, in West Virginia,
Southwestern Virginia, Kentucky, North
western Georgia and Alabama. He says:
"a promising line Of investigation along
the Atlantic slope relates to the green-sand
nafis of Virginia and the Carolinas. 1t is
not realized by the citizens of those States
that there lie within their low eastward
mills sources of untold wealth, which will
eventually revolutionize the agricultural
methods. pursued ia these States, in the
shape of just such green sands and maris as
have within the past generation transform

The Willy Sultan.
| He Is STILL HOLDING OFF THE RATIFI-
CATION OF THE AGREEMENT.

CATION OF THE AGREEMENT.
LONDON, July 14.-The Sultan of Tur-
key is still holding off from the ratification
of his agreement with the British special
commissioner, obviously with the intention
| of making the best possible terms for sign
ing or repudiating the treaty as the case
may be, and in so doing his action is not
altogether to be condemned as savoring Of
duplicity or any other species of knavery.
The same sort of game has been practioed
upon him by one Or another European
Power until he has become thoroughly
acquainted with the benefits acruing to the
"party of the first part" from transactions
conducted upon methods of questionable
honesty, and he now seeks to avail himself
of them by turning the tables. With
Germany, England and Italy 1.-The one
hand urging him to sign the treaty, and
Russia and France on the other demanding
that he shall not sign, while Austria, having
all that she can attend to nearer home.
makes no definite decision one way or the
other, the Sultan can well afford to tenn
porize. AS things look now the Porte will
side with Russia in the belief that what
ever the ultimate outcome of the Egyptian
middle may be, Turkey cannot fare much
worse in the settlement than she has been
treated in the administration of the Egyp-
tians during the last five years, while in the
final adjustment Of the Balkan question she
is likely, as a price of her good offices to
Russia, to get something substantial in the
way of territorial guarantees that could not
be obtained in the face of Russia's opposi-
ton. 1t is a very pretty fight as matters
now stand, and Turkey is enjoying the to
her entirely new experience since she be-
came Eurpean Power of engaging in a
difficulty in which all Europe is concerned
without being the under dog She is
likely to be gamer rather than loser
when the smoke blows away and the spoils
are divided.

is reported from Karthaus, near Prague.

stationed as guard at the prison there. His
father had committed murder and had been
condemned to twenty years hard labor.

p A SUCCESSFUL FARMERS COLLEGE. -
The Charleston Ne,gs and Courier has been
gathering statistics about the Farmers Col
lege of Mississippi, and, in discussing the
subject editorially, our contemporary con-
cludes:
"The information which our correspon-
dent has collected and published was pre-
cisely what was most wanted in South Car
DINA on this subject. 1t is made evident
that the good work of the Mississippi Col
lege is not confined to the boys who attend
the course. 1t is educating the farmers in
it's neighborhood and throughout the State
as WELL The work that has been accom-
plished by the college creamery alone is OF
immense Importance, as is shown by the
founding of other creameries in different
parts of the State, by the butter boom
which it has caused, and by the impulse
given to stock-raising.
SIT is great deal to know that an agri
cultural college can be made successful and
widely useful in Southern State, and the
letters of our correspondent show that the
College in Mississippi is meeting all the
ends that can be reasonably required O
such an institution"
